Therapy + Consulting + Creative
Sollevamenti is an Italian word that means: 1. lifting, raising; 2. revolt, uprising; 3. (geology) upheaval; 4. relief.
Our name is our mission. Sollevamenti brings together three words that express what we do: sol (sun) + leva (raise) + menti (minds).
We walk with our clients and help them discover new ways to find their light.

Trauma, sadness, anxiety, concentration problems, grief, and challenging behaviors (like defiance and temper tantrums) often challenge both caregivers and children alike. They contribute to stress, feelings of isolation, and problems at school, home, and in the community. Left untreated, these issues can also lead to long-term physical and mental health challenges. I aim to empower children, teens, and families to create the change they wish to see in their lives. By building resiliency, not only do we work to address current problems, but we also develop the tools to better cope with future challenges.
I meet each client where they're at developmentally, matching my services to their unique needs and experiences. I am honored when children and families invite me to walk alongside them on their journeys. Making changes in our lives often takes great courage. I never cease to be inspired by my clients' strength, creativity, and perseverence.
